Though sometimes drawing himself as a skunk with glasses, he could never settle on a fan name and just uses his own real one. Ken Pick proclaims that he became a furry artist and writer "to stay sane". [citation needed]

Ken has also done a lot writing for his favorite science fiction rpg Traveller (science fiction adventure in the far future). It was the first science fiction rpg that was introduced to in 1977 by Wayne Shaw. Ken has written an extensive collection of articles on Freelance Traveller that include his early campaigns, starship designs and host of other articles. Some of his articles were published in Challenge magazine which long since ceased publication.
